Эта пластинка, первой записанная за пределами Великобритании, в Швейцарии и Франции, стала достойным завершением десятилетия. Queen снова радует нас вокальным и стилевым разнообразием. Прекрасно запоминаются необычное начало альбома в виде «Mustapha» с гипнотизирующими песнопениями Фредди на арабском языке и восточными мотивами и последний трек «More of That Jazz», медленный и тяжелый, в котором присутствуют отрывки из других песен на альбоме. Есть несколько безоговорочных хитов: задорная «Fat Bottomed Girls», вызвавшая яростный протест феминисток, ведь группа пела о том, что миром правят «толстозадые девки» (подразумевались группи); скандальная «Bicycle Race», по которой сняли видеоклип с обнаженными девушками на велосипедах, за что группу стали обвинять в порнографии (кроме того, невинное желание «покататься на велосипеде» подразумевает также «переспать с бисексуалом»), но если забыть об этом, то эта песня – очень хороший пример того, как Queen умудрялись в одной теме проигрывать как бы сразу несколько песен; жизнерадостная «Don’t Stop Me Now» с диско-элементами. Под балладу «Jealousy» (в которой единственный раз за всю историю Queen звучит ситар) хочется грустить об утраченной любви, под веселый рок-н-ролл «If You Can’t Beat Them» – плясать, под скоростную «Dead on Time» с жестким гитарным риффом (такое некоторые называют прото-спид-металлом) – мчаться куда-то вдаль. Очень трогательно звучит песня Мэя – «Leaving Home Ain’t Easy» (похожа на кантри в духе Eagles, а заодно является чем-то вроде ответа Queen на битловскую «She’s Leaving Home»). Неплохи также быстрая и жесткая «Let Me Entertain You» с самоироничным отношением к себе как к звездам шоу-бизнеса, милая баллада «In Only Seven Days» (за семь дней можно успеть и влюбиться, и расстаться), гитарный блюз «Dreamer’s Ball» и фанк-диско «Fun It» (как бы намек на то, чем группа займется в ближайшие годы). Альбом хорош и плохих песен вроде нет, но выглядит все не очень цельным (для лучшего восприятия даже расставить можно было бы в другом порядке) и временами чувствуется некоторая вымученность, поэтому до лучших работ группы это творение в целом не дотягивает. |

Альбом “Jazz” вышел в середине ноября 1979 года и получил, пожалуй, одни из самых нелестных отзывов критики. Вот, к примеру, один из них (NME) – «Если у вас есть глухой родственник, подарите этот альбом ему на Рождество!» [С. Климовицкий. «QUEEN история группы», М. 2001]. Впрочем, критики – народ особый, так что их словам не стоит придавать сильно уж большого значения. Главное, что публике альбом понравился и на верхних строчках хит-парадов он побывал.
В целом альбом “Jazz” вышел, конечно, поскромнее предыдущего, во всяком случае, хитов «известных каждому человеку с пеленок» здесь явно нет. Пластинка очень разнообразна, что для творчества этой группы, скорее, правило, чем исключение. В целом на альбоме преобладают вещи с хардовым гитарным звучанием. Однако здесь уже чувствуется влияние диско, ритм-энд-блюза, популярной музыки.
Весьма оригинально и неожиданно начало с восточным оттенком – композиция Мэркьюри “Mustapha”. Затем следует довольно популярный хит написанный Мэем – “Fat Bottomed Girls”, который впрочем, вряд ли можно причислить к нетленной классике… Нельзя не упомянуть так же о скандальной и безусловно замечательной композиции Фредди Меркьюри “Bicycle Race” (Велосипедная гонка). На песню сняли клип, для чего на знаменитый стадион «Уэмбли» пригласили 65 велосипедисток снявшихся в одних только кроссовках и головных уборах. А впоследствии сам альбом содержал раскладывающийся постер-вклейку с фотографией готовящихся к старту девушек. И не смотря на то, что и на постере, и в самом клипе нагота девушек была показана чрезвычайно скромно, на группу посыпались обвинения в порнографии! Не легко быть знаменитым – охотников поругать будет хоть отбавляй! Впрочем, привлечение внимания путем создания поводов для скандалов – тоже неотъемлемая часть шоу-бизнеса…
Ну и пару слов об еще одной великолепной песне Фредди Меркьюри “Don’t Stop Me Now” (Сейчас меня не остановить). Лично мне сильнейшей песней на альбоме представляется именно она. Отличная энергичная композиция с ведущим фортепиано, в лучших традициях QUEEN! (К слову будет сказано, ее использовали в прикольном комедийном фильме 2004 года «Зомби по имени Шон» (в оригинале “Shaun of the dead”), где под нее главные герои весело колотили бильярдными киями одного из живых трупов! Забавно до жути…)
В остальном, песни на альбоме (написанные всеми участниками группы) не так примечательны и сильны, но плохих вещей здесь конечно нет. Так что к лучшим творениям группы “Jazz” явно не относится, но и к худшим тоже. Во всяком случае, он посильнее альбома 1976 года. |

Fat bottomed girls
(May)
Are you gonna take me home tonight?
Down beside that red fire light
Are you gonna let it all hang out?
Fat bottomed girls, you make the rocking world go 'round
Hey, I was just a skinny lad
Never knew no good from bad
But I knew love before I left my nursery
Left alone with big fat fanny
She was such a naughty nanny
Heap big woman, you made a bad boy out of me
I've been singing with my band
Across the wire, across the land
I've seen every blue eyed floozy on the way
But their beauty and their style
Went kind of smooth after a while
Take me to them lovely ladies every time
Won't you take me home tonight?
Down beside your red firelight
And you give it all you got
Fat bottomed girls, you make the rocking world go 'round
Fat bottomed girls, you make the rocking world go 'round
Now your mortgages and homes
And the stiffness in your bones
Ain't no beauty queens in this locality, I tell you
Oh, but I still get my pleasure
Still get my greatest treasure
Heap big woman, you made a bad boy out of me
Are you gonna take me home tonight? Please
Down beside that red firelight
You gonna let it all hang out
Fat bottomed girls, you make the rocking world go 'round
Fat bottomed girls, you make the rocking world go 'round
Get on your bikes and ride!
Fat bottomed girls
Fat bottomed girls
Jealousy
(Mercury)
Oh, how wrong can you be?
Oh, to fall in love was my very first mistake
How was I to know I was far
Too much in love to see?
Jealousy, look at me now
Jealousy, you got me somehow
You gave me no warning
Took me by surprise
Jealousy, you led me on
You couldn't lose
You couldn't fail
You had suspicion on my trail
How? How? How?
All my jealousy
I wasn't man enough to let you hurt my pride
Now I'm only left with my own jealousy
Oh, how strong can you be?
With matters of the heart
Life is much too short to while away with tears
If only you could see just what you do to me
Jealousy, you tripped me up
Jealousy, you brought me down
You bring me sorrow
You cause me pain
Jealousy
When will you let go?
Gotta hold of my possessive mind
Turned me into a jealous kind
How? How? How?
All my jealousy
I wasn't man enough to let you hurt my pride
Now I'm only left with my own jealousy
But now it matters not if I should live or die
'Cause I'm only left with my own jealousy
Bicycle race

If you can't beat them
(Deacon)
Keep your chin up when you're feeling lonely
Don't let them get you down
Ain't no use in your sitting all alone
Hangin' around for someone to call
They won't come knocking at all
Don't run and hide
Even if it hurts you inside
So I said give as good as you get
If you can't beat them join them
You better do it 'cause it makes you feel good
If you can't beat them join them
You're never gonna help yourself
Keep your fingers off my money
Don't try and pull me down
You're taking me out to wine and dine me
Trying to wind me 'round and around
Invite me to your little contract, ha ha!
Rumour has it that you could play dirty
I tell you what I'll do about that and that
I'm playing them at their own game
If you can't beat them join them
You've got to do it 'cause it makes you feel good
If you can't beat them join them
You're never gonna help yourself
If you can't beat them join them
You've got to do it 'cause it makes you feel good
If you can't beat them join them
It's everyone for themselves
Let me entertain you
(Mercury)
Let me welcome you, ladies and gentlemen

Come on! Let me entertain you
Let me entertain you
Let me entertain you tonight
Dead on time
(May)
Fool always jumping
Never happy where you land
Fool got my business
Make your living where you can
Hurry down the highway
Hurry down the road
Hurry past the people staring
Hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry
Leave on time, leave on time
Never got your ticket but you leave on time
Leave on time, leave on time
Gonna get your ticket but you leave on time
Leave on time, leave on time
Put it in your pocket but you never can tell
Leave on time, leave on time
Shake that rattle, gonna leave on time
Leave on time, leave on time
Fight your battle but you leave on time
Leave on time, leave on time
Never got a minute, no, you never got a minute
No, you never, never got, oh, no matter
Fool got no business
Hanging 'round and telling lies
Fool, you got no reasons
But you got no compromise
Hey, stampin' on the ceiling
Hammering on the walls
Gotta get out, gotta get out, gotta get out
Oh, you know I'm going crazy
Leave on time, leave on time
Gotta get ahead but you leave on time
Leave on time, leave on time
Gonna head on ahead but you leave on time
Leave on time, leave on time
You're running in the red but you never can tell
Leave on time, leave on time
Gotta get rich, gonna leave on time
Leave on time, leave on time
But you can't take it with you when you leave on time
Leave on time, leave on time
Got to keep yourself alive, gotta leave on time
Gotta leave on time, leave on time
Dead on time
You're dead!
In only seven days
(Deacon)
Monday - the start of my holiday
Freedom for just one week
Feels good to get away
Tuesday - I saw here down on the beach
I stood and watched a while
And she looked and smiled at me
Wednesday - I didn't see her
I hoped that she'd be back tomorrow
And then on Thursday my luck had changed
She stood there all alone, I went and asked her name
I never thought that this could happen to me in only seven days
It would take a hundred or more for memories to fade
I wish Friday could last forever
I held her close to me
I couldn't bear to leave her there
Saturday - just twenty four hours
Oh no, I'm going back home on Sunday
I'm so sad alone
Dreamer's ball
(May)
I used to be your baby
Used to be your pride and joy
You used to take me dancing
Just like any other boy
But now you've found another partner
You've left me like a broken toy
It's someone else you're taking
Someone else you're playing to
Honey, though I'm aching
Know just what I have to do
If I can't have you when I'm waking
I'll go to sleep and dream of you
Oh, take me, take me
Take me to the dreamer's ball
I'll be right on time and I'll dress so fine
You're gonna love me when you see me, I won't have to worry
Take me, take me, promise not to wake me
'Till it's morning, it's all been true
"What do you say about that then, honey?
Are you gonna take me to that dreamer's ball? I'd like that
Right on that forty second street
Way down down town we must go"
Oh, take me, take me, take me
I'm your play thing now
You make my life worthwhile with the slightest smile
Or destroy me with a barely perceptible whisper
Gently take me remember
I'll be dreaming of my baby at the dreamer's ball
Take me, hold me
Remember what you told me
You'd meet me at the dreamer's ball
I'll meet you at the dreamer's ball
Fun it
(Taylor)
Everybody in the morning
Should do a good turn, all right
Everybody in the night time
Should have a good time all night
Now we got a movement
Don't shun it - fun it
Can't you see now you're moving free?
Get some fun, join our dynasty
Can't you tell when we get it down?
You're the one, you're the best in town
Hey! Everybody, everybody gonna have a good time tonight
Just shaking the soles of your feet
Everybody, everybody gonna have a good time tonight
That's the only soul you'll ever meet
They say that moving
The body's right, it's all right
That's the only one part of being alive
All right, all right
Groove on out, groove on up, Ok
Do your thing, do your thing your way
Get you kicks, get your tricks with me
Get up and dance, honey, fun's for free
Hey! Everybody, everybody gonna have a good time tonight
Just shaking the soles of your feet
Everybody, everybody gonna have a good time tonight
That's the only soul you'll ever meet
Don't shun it - fun it
Don't shun it - fun it
Don't shun it - fun it
Leaving home ain't easy
(May)
I take a step outside and I breathe the air
And I slam the door and I'm on my way
I won't lay no blame, I won't call your names
'Cause I've made my break and I won't look back
I've turned my back
On those endless games
I'm all through with ties, I'm all tired of tears
I'm a happy man, don't it look that way?
Shaking dust from my shoes, there's a road ahead
And there's no way back home, oh, but I have to say
Leaving home ain't easy
Oh, I never thought it would be easy
Leaving on your own
Oh, is the main thing calling me back?
Leaving home ain't easy
On the one you're leaving home
Stay, my love, my love
Please, stay, stray, my love
What's wrong, my love?
What's right, my love?
Oh, leaving home ain't easy
I thought how could I think of leaving
Leaving on your own
Still trying to persuade me that
Leaving home ain't necessary
Leave the only way
Leaving home ain't easy
But may be the only way
Don't stop me now
(Mercury)
Tonight I'm gonna have myself a real good time
I feel alive and the world - I'll turn it inside out
I'm floating around in ecstasy so don't stop me now
Don't stop me 'cause I'm having a good time, having a good time
I'm a shooting star leaping through the skies
Like a tiger defying the laws of gravity
I'm a racing car passing by like Lady Godiva
I'm gonna go go go! There's no stopping me
I'm burning through the skies, yeah
Two hundred degrees, that's why they call me Mister Fahrenheit
I'm traveling at the speed of light
I wanna make a supersonic man out of you
Don't stop me now
I'm having such a good time, I'm having a ball
Don't stop me now
If you wanna have a good time just give me a call
Don't stop me now 'cause I'm having a good time
Don't stop me now, yes, I'm having a good time
I don't want to stop at all
I'm a rocket ship on my way to Mars on a collision course
I am a satellite, I'm out of control
I am a sex machine ready to reload
Like an atom bomb about to oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, explode
I'm burning through the skies, yeah
Two hundred degrees, that's why they call me Mister Fahrenheit
I'm traveling at the speed of light
I wanna make a supersonic woman out of you
Don't stop me, don't stop me, don't stop me
Don't stop me, don't stop me, I like it
Don't stop me, don't stop me, have a good time, good time
Don't stop me, don't stop me, alright
I'm burning through the skies, yeah
Two hundred degrees, that's why they call me Mister Fahrenheit
I'm traveling at the speed of light
I wanna make a supersonic man out of you
Don't stop me now
I'm having such a good time, I'm having a ball
Don't stop me now
If you wanna have a good time just give me a call
Don't stop me now 'cause I'm having a good time
Don't stop me now, yes, I'm having a good time
I don't wanna stop at all
More of that jazz
(Taylor)
If you're feeling tired and lonely
Uninspired and lonely
If you're thinking how the days seem long
All you're given is what you've been given
A thousand times before
Just more, more, more of that jazz
More, no more of that jazz
Give me no more
No more of that jazz
Only football gives us thrills
Rock 'n' roll just pays the bills
Only our team is the real team
Bring out the dogs, get on your feet, lie on the floor
Kinda thinking I've heard that line before
Just more, more, more of that jazz
More, no more of that jazz
Give me no more
No more of that jazz
No more, no more, no more of that jazz
